Students enrolled at Illinois Institute of Technology have the opportunity to complement their tech-focused education with the strengths in media arts of neighboring Columbia College Chicago through a course exchange agreement.

The agreement allows Illinois Tech students who are earning their bachelor’s degrees to take for-credit courses at Columbia College to explore that institution’s deep expertise in diverse fields of media and the arts.

Illinois Tech students taking advantage of the course exchange program will be able to take courses in animation, cinema and television arts, game programming, and interactive media design at Columbia’s nearby South Loop campus in Chicago or through the college’s online platform.

Illinois Tech students may take a maximum of two courses (or six credit hours) per term/semester from Columbia College’s list of eligible courses at Columbia’s main campus or through online platforms.
